Pulp Alley In Casablanca
« on: 10 March 2016, 10:18:07 PM »
Hey guys! Finally got to play a game of Pulp Alley over the weekend and had a blast, despite my best attempts to completely muck up the rules  ;)

Here's a few photos and link to the whole report

Fantastic terrain! THANKS so much for playing and posting you Pulp Alley battle report!!

And as for perilous areas....

Yes, it is perfectly logical for folks to want to avoid them. And that is fine, unless there is a more pressing reason to enter the area.

In urban settings, perilous areas could be a busy street with lots of traffic, a bustling outdoor market that is unfriendly to strangers, a dark alley with a bad reputation, an area patrolled by a mean copper, or simply the vertical sides of the buildings (climbing), and so on...

For example, you could say a fenced in area contains an aggressive guard dog - so it is a perilous area. Of course players are going to want to avoid it. But what if the area has tall buildings on both sides? Are you going to go around or over the fence? And what if a plot point is located inside the fenced area?

Perilous areas don't always have to be a big problem. Sometimes you just go around, other times it is not so easy.


Please let us know what other questions you may have.

Thanks a lot Dave! Your suggestions make total sense, and I really like the idea of truck being a perilous area trying to run a character down  :D

I definitely have more questions and I'm going to post them on your boards once I figure out my wording better with examples, so I can better explain my questions while not sounding like a goof  :D

Looking good!

Did you make the Buildings yourself, or are they from a manufacturer?
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Thanks!
All the buildings are from Cresent Root Studios. What you see in the photos are all right out of the box (except for my building signs), no weathering or assembly at all! Hands down my favorite buildings  :D  http://crescent-root.com/
